Purpose of This Notice.

This notice provides guidance for all Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) aviation safety inspectors (ASI) and Aircraft Evaluation Group (AEG) inspectors about the use of Class 1 or Class 2 Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) systems in aircraft conducting operations under Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 91. For the purpose of this notice, EFB systems do not include appliances that are typically granted Technical Standard Order Authorization (TSOA) and receive installation and operational approval by means of type certification (TC) or Supplemental Type Certification (STC). This notice supplements procedures in Advisory Circular (AC) 120-76A, Guidelines for the Certification, Airworthiness, and Operational Approval of Electronic Flight Bag Computing Devices, and clarifies N 8200.98, Electronic Flight Bag Job Aid, requiring an ASI to approve Class 1 and Class 2 EFB hardware and associated Type A and B software applications.
